James G. Matthews, the colored man whom
President Cleveland nominated for Register
and Recorder In the District Of Columbia. and
whom the Senate did not confirm. has written
to the Democratic State Committee letter in
answer to tho letter of Frederick Douglass, who
asked the colored voters to continue to sup
port tho Republican ticket. Douglass's letter
was called out by the fears Of the Republicans
that the colored vote would be divided.
Extracts from Matthew's letter are:

Il said in my haste" remarked
the psalmist "all men are liars"
That there are more liars in the
world to-day than there were in
David's time goes without saying,
because there are more men. And
with this increase Of population
there has sprung into being a new
line of stock liars with whom Da-
vid was unacqualnted; fair, aver
age liars, who do a plain, every day
business, and only go on in star
parts when the star liar of the COM
OinatiOn is sick or tired or some
thing. Among these steady pro-
tessionals may be men toned:
The man who "never reads news
papers,
The man who never sees the edi-
torial cutting him up until his ''at-
tention has been called to it,"
The candidate who is "out OF
politics and wouldn't take the nom
ination if it were offered to him.
The man who put Cleveland
where he is"
The man who ''never had days
sickness in his lix."
The man who says the captain
told him sit was the worst storm he
mad ever experienced"
The man who wouldn't take
800 for that dog"
The man who "whipped every
boy he ever fought with when at
school,
The man who "could take that
ext and preach q great deal better
sermon from it" (than his pastor
did.
The man who says che wants you
TO tell him just what you think
and "never feels hurt at candid
criticism, no matter how severe II
it,
The man who s"never slept 6
wink last night"
The man who "never made but
one mistake in judging character il
his life."
The man who can remember
''the only lie he ever told"
The man who Offered 5000 fol-
that horse the day before he wen
lame"
The man who could turn doub
lie handspring from the ground
backward or forward, when he wa;
a sboy, but hasn't tried it 70
more than fifteen years." Some
times with redeeming impulse 0

of all the states of the union, with
out exception, the elective fran
chise was confined to males. But
in Colorado and in Wisconsin the
institution gives the Legislature
power at any time to extend the
right of suffrage to women, if
approved at general election by
mere majority of the people; and
both in Colorado and in Minnesota
it provides that women shall vote
upon school questions: and the
same is Law in several other states.
Several states are now agitating the
question of giving women a right
to vote at municipal elections also.
By the constitution Of California no
woman may be disqualified from en-
tering upon any lawful business,
profession or vocation; but by that
of Missouri it is specified that the
governor and the memb ers OF the
legislature must be men. In Geor~
gia alone it is expressly enacted
that women can neither vote, hold
office, nor perform any civil func-
tions unless especially authorized
by law; and on the other hand, that
they are tree of military, jury, po-
lice, patrol, and road duties. SO in
Louisiana. it is sanely declared that
the law, by reason of the difference
Of sexes has established between
men and women essential differen
ces with respect to the civil, social
and political rights. sss But in Hi.
nois women may not be excluded
from any occupation or profession
except the military; though they
may not hold Office, as a rule, MOI
serve on juries, nor be forced to la
DOR in the streets. And in mos
states women are enabled to prac
tice particular professions, such a.
law and medicine, and to hold spec
flied offices, such as cle1 ships ant
registries of deeds and places il
the schools. Finally, as We hav
already said, women are almos
